Human COX-2 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0446)

COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) is an inducible prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase that catalyzes conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, with elevated expression linked to inflammation, pain signaling, and tumor angiogenesis. This Assay Genie kit quantifies cyclooxygenase-2 protein in human samples using a microplate format and is intended for in vitro research use only. Researchers investigating NSAID pharmacology, colorectal and breast cancer pathways, or inflammatory cytokine cascades can apply the ELISA to monitor COX-2 induction by LPS, IL-1β, or TNF-α in stimulated cell lines. Reagent components are shipped on cold packs and should be stored at 4°C upon arrival to preserve antibody binding activity; consult the included protocol for reconstitution of the lyophilized standard and recommended dilution in cell culture supernatants.
